Al Quoz is two maps: light-industrial and the art / coffee belt. Living here is cheap-ish and car-shaped. The scene is real; the night bus is not.

Good if you work in a warehouse or a studio. Awkward if you want a pool and a concierge.

Truck routes and Friday warehouse traffic. Test the school run if you have kids.
